March 30th: Booja-Booja Chilled Chocolate Truffles - Selection No.1

These were the words greeting us a we opened up the letter accompanying our courier delivered box from our friends over at Booja-Booja!

Booja-Booja this week did us the great pleasure of sending over their all new range of chilled chocolate truffles. The Chilled Chocolate Truffle Collection is delivered, stored and sold chilled to ensure maximum freshness from the kitchen to the customer.

The truffles are UK handmade and are going to be on sales in selected Waitrose stores, via Watirose online and on the high street. Over the next few weeks we are going to show you the two different selection boxes and six single flavour boxes:

Today we are starting off with the Booja-Booja Chilled Chocolate Truffles Selection No. 1 box.

Described as a 'satisfying adventure of melt-in-the-mouth, award-winning chocolates featuring Midnight Espresso, Fine de Champagne and Kalamon Olive flavours.'

As directed we served these gorgeous looking truffles straight from the fridge. Although they lacked differentiation aesthetically when it came to the taste test these really set themselves apart. By far the most popular were the Espresso truffles. Their roasted coffee bean flavours injected a burst of flavours to the ultra buttery, smooth dark chocolate cocoa tones - a sheer delight. We will tell you more about the Marc de Champagne when we review them separately but suffice to say they got a big thumbs up. We were all a little unsure on the Kalamon Olive truffles but their earthier taste and faster moving melt were still well like all round.

Overall we loved our first look at this new Booja-Booja Chilled Chocolate Truffles collection. We can't wait to review the rest of the range - stay tuned!
